Porsche has released details of a new diesel-powered Cayenne with the kind of credentials to match its fantastic GTS model.
Powered by the company’s 4.2-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the Cayenne S Diesel has an impressive 284 kW (381 hp) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of torque at its disposal, enough for a 0-100 km/h time of 5.7 seconds, and a top speed of 252 km/h (157 mph). The auto start/stop function – a first in the V8 diesel SUV segment, helps to achieve a consumption figure of 8.3 l/100 km and emissions of 218 g/km CO2, while its 100-litre fuel tank allows a range of 1,200 kilometres (745 miles) between top-ups.
Visually, the S Diesel can be identified by its black front intake grilles and tell-tale rear badging, with standard equipment including Porsche Traction Management (PTM), 18-inch alloy wheels, leather interior, powered front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, all-round parking sensors, cruise control and a seven-inch touch-screen system.
Porsche GB has set the pricing from €72,761.
